Award-winning FellSwoop Theatre present ‘Ghost Opera’: a mesmeric two-hander, spoken and sung, accompanied by a string quartet and devised in development with The Lowry and the Tobacco Factory Theatres.

Two strangers, both haunted by living ghosts in their everyday: one, her dying mother, and the other, his celebrity idol. Escaping to seek refuge at a spa retreat, the thirty year-old woman and the seventeen year-old boy meet, and together they try to resist becoming that which haunts them.

FellSwoop Theatre are a Bristol-based company exploring the relationship between music and the stage. Their previous productions of Ablutions (Winner of Ignite Festival’s Critic’s Choice Award) Belleville Rendez-vous (Winner of NSDF Emerging Artists Award) and Current Location have intrigued and delighted audiences here, across the UK and internationally.
